Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]by [G]Joh[D]n Williamson
[G][D]

[Verse 2]
[G]
Where [D]ancient mountains
are whittled down

[Verse 3]
Millions of [D]years to a little mound

[Verse 4]
Where giant [D]feet are fossil found
[G][Em]

[Verse 5]
[G]I s[D]ee spinifex surfing on a dune,

[Verse 6]
[D]The rock is redder in the afternoon

[Verse 7]
[D]Tourists clicking madly
[G]soon[Em]

[Verse 8]
[Em]
[G]Where spring will come with any rain

[Verse 9]
A chance [G]to flower and seed [Em]again
[G]Forever garden

[Verse 10]
[D]ris[Em]in' plain
The [G]dangers of

[Verse 11]
the wild
remain
[D][Em][D]

[Verse 12]
[G]
[D]And away up there where

[Verse 13]
the wind is blown
[D]Never before felt so alone

[Verse 14]
[D]More aware of skin and [Em]bone

[Verse 15]
[Em]
[G]I wat[D]ch the parade of human folk

[Verse 16]
Strips of [D]rubber, cans of Coke

[Verse 17]
Making [D]dust and blowing
smoke
[G][Em]

[Verse 18]
Where the [G]awe-inspiring power
[D]power of [G]tim[Em]e

[Verse 19]
[G]Leave some fearful, some sublime
[Em]

[Verse 20]
White [G]man finds his progress [Em]prime

[Verse 21]
[Em]Black man feels [G]no urge [D]to climb

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][G][D][G][D][G]
[D]Now I believe

[Verse 22]
we all are one

[Verse 23]
Features and [D]creatures in the sun

[Verse 24]
Breathing the [D]air we all belong
[G][Em]

[Verse 25]
[G]I hav[D]e a dream I can't explain

[Verse 26]
[D]Wattle soldiers, making claim

[Verse 27]
And [D]paradise returns [G]again[Em]
